The Legislative branch (Congress) can override a veto with a two-thirds vote from both the Senate and the House of Representatives. This power is a check on the Executive branch of government, and is designed to ensure the President doesn't overstep his (or her) authority or prevent vital legislation from passing into law.

How can the judicial branch check a presidential veto?
The judicial branch doesn't check the presidents power to veto specifically. The legislative can however find the actions of the president unconstitutional through judicial review. The presidents power to veto is checked by the legislative, as congress can override the veto by a 2/3 majority.
What branch of government can overide a veto?
No. The President's veto power is part of the law-making process. Only the Legislative Branch (Congress) can override his (or her) veto with a two-thirds majority vote of each the House of Representatives and the Senate. This formula does not apply to a "pocket veto." A pocket veto can be executed at or near the end of a session of Congress, if a bill is presented for signing with fewer than ten days left before recess. If the President chooses to ignore the bill, it is automatically vetoed. The only remedy for a pocket veto is reintroducing the bill in the next session of Congress.
